It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
